Let's talk about reading.
I've been deconstructing and rebuilding my faith for about four years now. For multiple reasons, I walked away from my former evangelical church in 2022 and have been steadily and diligently digging through all my various dogmas and doctrinal beliefs ever since.
Similarly, I started rethinking my politics about the same time - triggered by the anti-racism uproar that exploded onto the American scene in 2020, and my sudden awareness of something I'd long assumed was no longer a real issue in America.
And, wow, did my rethinking lead to some drastic changes in my life - but I'm intensely happy that it did, and I'd like to talk about it for a few minutes.
